It's been awhile since I posted this information, so will try again. I am searching for ANY mention of my ancestor Edward HAYNES in Hood County records around 1861-1868. I understand that for part of this time I should be looking in Johnson County, but I can't find him there, either. A family history written by his nephew states that he died in Hood County, Texas about 1868 or 1869. He was a Primitive Baptist minister, and I am sure he came to Hood County to continue to establish churches, as he had done previously in Georgia and North Carolina. If anyone has a connection to any HAYNES families in Hood County, or suggestions on where I might search next, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
